This traditional mid-terraced Victorian home in Roath offers clear potential but requires full modernisation. The property is compact (approximately 651 sq ft) with two bedrooms, a through lounge/dining area, fitted kitchen and ground-floor bathroom. An enclosed, mainly paved rear garden and freehold tenure are practical positives for an inner-city starter home or small investment.
The house is being sold by Modern Auction with an undisclosed reserve. Bidders should allow for buyer fees: a non-refundable reservation fee of 4.5% (minimum £6,600) plus a pack fee (up to £349) and any additional auction costs. The sale is chain-free and intended to complete within 56 days, so buyers must be prepared to provide ID and proof of funding and to complete necessary due diligence and surveys prior to purchase.
Condition is a material consideration: the property needs complete modernisation throughout, including visible exterior wear and possible roof repair. Internal fixtures and finishes are dated and room proportions are modest. The area is a cosmopolitan mix of students and professionals, within walking distance of Albany/Wellfield Road shops and the city centre — convenient for transport, but located in a very deprived ward with above-average crime statistics.
This house will suit a buyer comfortable managing a renovation project or an investor planning refurbishment for resale or let. Factor in renovation costs, auction fees and the short completion timetable when assessing affordability and finance options.
